Solid fuel local space heaters

Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning regulations
amending the Board’s building regulations (2011:6) - regulations and
general advice

By amending Section 6:7412 of the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's building regulations [Boverkets byggregler – BBR], which entered into force on 1 July 2017, requirements vis-à-vis efficiency and emissions from buildings with local space heaters are made more stringent. The regulatory amendment in question was notified to the Commission in 2016 according to the Ordinance (1994:2029) on technical rules (Notification 2016/527/S).

This notification clarifies provisions in Section 6:7412 BBR so that it explicitly states that the carbon monoxide emission levels apply at nominal output.

Section 6:7412 BBR is also supplemented with general advice stating that testing is carried out in accordance with the current harmonised standard for each type of local space heater. The amendments notified under Ordinance (1994:2029) on technical rules are therefore only a clarification of a previously notified regulation.
